What happened to the one that actually killed Van Cleef's wife


I know he was working for the enemy but I don't remember seeing him killed. It has been a while since I have seen this movie. Can anyone help?

you don't actually see him get killed. lvc finds his body close to ralph waite's which leads lvc to believe ralph killed him. then lvc says to michael callan "He did my job now i'll do his." which is why lvc recruits the five prisoners along with himself and callan to protect the town and wipe out detoro

Gary Busey is the one who raped and killed Van Cleef's wife and Lee gave him his justice.

Yes, it's not absolutely clear whether Shelly had a hand in Arilla as well. But it's a little funny that that particular revenge thread, has rather an anti-climactic ending, with Shelly perhaps vainly attempting to help Jim.🐭
